Form & Verdict
Just one win from 15 starts and she's finished down the field on Tapeta (5f) and turf (5.7f, good to soft) in last three runs; this drop back in trip is a positive but she needs to get back near best with blinkers added.

Won at her beloved Yarmouth (5f, good to soft; from 4lb lower) last October; hasn't been at her best since returning to AW recently; this is a fraction easier and she could strip fitter but others are more appealing.

Had a near miss in a Lingfield handicap (6f, AW) in March, but he's not really gone on from that and was only fourth of five at Brighton (5.3f, good) ten days ago; dropped 2lb but he's now 0-8 and others look stronger; reapplied cheekpieces replace blinkers.

Eight-race maiden who didn't fire when favourite at Ayr (5f, good) 12 days ago, but she went close over C&D (soft) on her penultimate run; has claims if she can recapture that form but her profile is patchy and drying ground would be a concern.
